Calling all people of conscience: Following numerous Associated Press reports about NYPD programs that profile, investigate and entrap American Muslims not even suspected of committing a crime (http://www.thenation.com/blog/163159/long-life-profiling-ten-years-after-911), it is time for Muslims and all Americans to STAND UP. While legal and political actions and education continue, it is crucial that this movement be led by the people it affects: all of us.

Muslims, affected communities and all allies of justice, join us.

Our Demands:

1. An immediate end to all racial, ethnic and religious profiling.

2. The dismantlement and disclosure of all warrant-less surveillance operations.

3. An independent commission to investigate all NYPD, CIA and FBI operations against the Muslim community.

4. The immediate protection of our right to freedom of worship, free speech and free association.

5. The equal protection, under the law, of Muslims and all people of New York.
